Last month we held an informal open house at the Timbers Army fanladen, when a few of you had a chance to get a sneak peek at our new space. Since then a lot of extra work has taken place, and we are ready to declare the place officially open.

The fanladen allows us to better meet our members’ needs, have safe storage of inventory, and provide ample creative space for us to continue to lead the way with our expressions of support for the boys. And, as it’s located at SW 17th and Alder, it’s just a dodgy keeper’s goal kick away from the stadium.

We invite you to join us to socialize with your Timbers Army brothers and sisters and enjoy some of the festivities we have planned.

Heritage Collection

Portland has a rich footballing history that stretches back to the late 1800's. What began as locals battling British sailors quickly evolved into coordinated teams and leagues. Our Heritage Collection pays tribute to this strong heritage with two limited edition t-shirts. Honor the first official football club in Portland with our "Portland Association Football Club" shirt.

Shortly after Portland's first football club came Portland's first football league. All six participants are featured on our "Portland Football Association" shirt: Multnomah Red & White, Oregon Railroad & Navigation, The Cricketers, The Crescents, Caledonians, and Columbias.

Shirts are $15 each

Limited Edition Headwear

To mark this momentous occasion, No Pity Originals has re-issued all of our classic headwear in a traditional 1970's colorway. This will be the first and probably the last time you'll see the classic colors on these hat designs.

Hats are $20 each
